Here is an article by someone who is sympathetic toward cold fusion. Prospective Energy Sources, Part 2: Cold Fusion’s Ice-Cold Reception
https://whowhatwhy.org/science/prospective-energy-sources-part-2-cold-fusions-ice-cold-reception/ The author has a theoretical physics degree, and knew Schwinger. Quote: The smartest man I ever knew was Julian Schwinger, who shared a Nobel Prize with Richard Feynman before he taught me quantum mechanics at Harvard. Long after I graduated, Schwinger had moved to California where he learned about the Pons and Fleischmann announcement. Schwinger had as deep a background in quantum theory as anyone alive. From all he knew, he thought about how cold fusion might work and wrote up his theory in 1981. . . . First article in the series: https://whowhatwhy.org/science/technology/prospective-energy-sources-fusion-is-hot-and-cold/ Upcoming: Coming soon in Part 3: Powerful interests are hellbent on keeping cold fusion technology from the public. Are there other reasons besides the economic conflicts?
